Jason headed upstairs to go be with Daphne and Benjamin, but Laura met him on the way. She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into her home office. "What does the president want?" She asked him in hushed tones, as though they were not in a soundproof room. "He is suspecting me concerning the death of Alex, but I am not sure that he has proof yet. I ensured that there were no loose ends," Jason answered. However, it was obvious that he was shaking with trepidation, and Laura understood where his fears came from.

"If he is suspicious of you, then I don't think that he is the only one who suspects you. Maybe Klaus is looking for the best time to strike," Laura said.

They were silent for a while, as though she was thinking of what to do.

"When are they leaving?" She asked him.

"They said that they are spending the night."

"They cannot spend the night. You cannot allow it," Laura said.

"You expect me to go tell them that now?"

"You have to come up with an excuse because there are t

    When Jason was sure that everything was fine, he finally retreated into the private lounge, where Daphne was with his son and tending to him. He went to the bed where they lay and Daphne gave him a warm smile. Jason stared kindly at the child for a while and he thought of what Maxwell had said to him earlier about his child not surviving. It brought a certain kind of pain to his heart as he looked at how helpless Benjamin was, with all the machines that were attached to him. He went ahead to pick up the child and cradled it in his hand. Benjamin was so small that he could not completely fit into Jason's palms put together. He watched the sleeping child for a while as he struggled to breathe. Jason eventually placed the child against his chest endearingly and kissed the top of his head. Daphne watched him being intentional with her child and it warmed her heart, the luck that came with having Jason to be the father of her child. "From this day going forward, I promise to be not just y

    Jason already knew his next line of action, and that was to take the president down. In THE SIX, his major point of strength was the political power that he upheld. It made it easy for the rest of the party to carry out their activities without so much stress or restriction. Jason knew that if he could take that alone from the president, then he would be useless to THE SIX. At first, he planned to make the president ineligible for the presidency in the next election period, but with the way things looked, he would as well take him down completely. Impeachment. He called Laura immediately after the president and his wife left, and she came over to the mansion immediately. She looked well-rested when she came over, and he was glad that he allowed her to go home the previous day and spend time with her family."So, how do you plan to get him out of the seat?" Laura asked him, fully aware that he had not

    "What did you find?" Jason asked, going straight to the point immediately after he got into the office. Christine dumped a file on the desk and moved back before she began to speak. "I managed to gather some information within the shortest time. The president's assistant is a hard man and he would not bend, so I had to use another method to get what I wanted from him," she stated curtly. "What other method is that?" Gustavo asked surprisingly. Jason had been noticing their connection, and he knew that they felt something for each other, but he would not be the one to say it. "I would not like to discuss it," Christine said as she looked at him and looked away immediately. It was improper of her to speak about how she had gone the extra mile to seduce the president's assistant, who still had feelings for her. Once she had managed to secure the hard drive, she was on her way out, leaving him horny and frustrated, and without a single idea of what she had just stolen from him. Jason we

    Russia was cold at this time of the year, but Jason, Laura, and Christine managed to find warmth in one of the finest hotels. He had been seeking to do business with the Russians for a while, but his team was still doing a major survey on the kind of business that would work in their favor. It was a beautiful country, and Jason thought that they could explore more once they were done with their business there. The city was not so beautiful when they got to the maximum prison the following day. Jason had heard stories about how cruel their methods were when he was in jail, but he never thought that he would ever witness it firsthand. As they approached the premises in the Range Rover cars they had gotten, it was as though a dark cloud hovered around the perimeter. It looked as though it would rain there, and Jason was beginning to think that this was probably not what he wanted to do. He, however, proceeded into the prison yard with Laura and Christine. There were three major entrance

    "Come on, baby, you have to see the news," Daphne said as she shook Jason awake. He had been back from Russia for three days, and even though their relationship had not been so smooth, he ensured that he was still looking out for her. Jason opened his eyes lazily and looked at the television. Duncan was on the screen and he was being interviewed about his intention of suing the president. This time, Jason did not see the timid man that they saw in Russia. He was fierce, a replica of what he used to be in his former life. This time, he was overcome by rage, his tongue spewing the truth. Jason smiled as their plan had finally worked. After their trip to Russia, all Laura had to do to make things go public was to send a report to the police. When they saw all the evidence that was presented, they demanded to speak to Duncan directly. He was immediately extracted from the Russian prison and brought back

    Sebastian was a simple man who lived in a small home in the country. He had a stable and catered to animals, so it made the air smell different when Jason and Duncan came there. Laura and Gustavo were also with him this time. Duncan offered to knock on the door. It took a while but the door eventually opened up, but there was no one there to signify that someone had opened the door. Gustavo was the first to enter, so he could scan the perimeter for any sign of danger. Before any of them knew what was happening, someone held Gustavo by the neck and pointed a gun to his head, taking all of them unawares. "Who the hell are you?" The person asked Gustavo. "Seb, it's me," Duncan said, coming to his rescue. Sebastian tactfully took out all the arms that Gustavo had on him, from the pistol to the pen knife, the chain, and the cuffs, leaving Gustavo defenseless before he let him in. All his movements were very swift to their amazement. As they entered the house after him, Jason took in the e

    There was a smile on Duncan's face when the court proceedings were over, and the president was cuffed and guided to the car. The only advantage he had at this point was that he was carried in a special comfortable police van. Just before the van was shut, Klaus requested to speak to him and he was allowed. He walked towards the car with Jason who was his resident favorite. "Please, Klaus, I promise to fix this as soon as possible," he begged. "Consider this as a farewell from THE SIX because of your carelessness," Klaus was adamant about his plea. "Also, this special police vehicle would be the last honorable discharge that you will ever receive," he added before he turned around and left."I hear they arranged a special cell for you in the prison, but I honestly wish that they would send you to Russia, so you can see how cruel people are treated," Jason said to his face. It was at this time that rea

    "I can't do that," Jason said as he pulled away from her immediately. She was asking because she knew that he had the funds and connections to do so if he wanted. "It's my father that we are talking about here. If you say that you love me, then you –," "Don't even go there with that emotional blackmail," he warned. "Just because I say that I love you does not mean that I can do such a thing for you." "And why not?" She asked him as she grabbed a towel and tied it around her naked body. He was irritated by her sense of entitlement but he would not say anything.He wanted to tell her that it was because her father was part of the people who killed his father, the same people who were intent on ending his life as well, and taking over every iota of his inheritance. "Your father got what he deserved," he said instead. "You saw the news and you saw the horrible things that he did, so this should not

    On the day Daphne was discharged from the hospital, she decided that she wanted to go see her father in jail. Jason suggested against it, but she was not willing to comply. She had her reasons and when she persisted, he let her be. She took her child with her as well, and Jason's hands were tied as he knew that their relationship was stiff at the moment. There was no need to aggravate it.“At least allow me to come with you so that I can keep an eye on you and the baby,” she offered. “I want to do this on my own. I have my reasons,” she said to him. “And before you act stupid, don't ask any of your men to follow me,” she added before she got into the waiting car. She knew however that he would not just let her go like that without company. She could already see two cars following after her at a reasonable distance, but she did not mind. She needed the protection anyway.&nb

    Jason waited until it was nightfall before he headed to the safehouse where Gustavo had kept Angelina. He wanted to be as discreet as possible, and Gustavo had been high on surveillance since Jason told him what they needed to do. When they got to the safehouse, another round of surveillance was done before the door of the car was opened for him to come down. He headed to the front door and headed to the stairs that led to the basement.Angelina was tied to a chair in the relatively empty and spacious basement, and it was a bit chilly, so she was asleep. He stood at a reasonable distance before her and stared at her for a while. It was almost unbelievable to him that she was at his mercy at this time. She was supposed to be the most powerful woman in the state, but she was crippled at his mercy.“Wake her up,” he finally ordered. A bucket of wat

    The meeting that Klaus called for was one that Jason did not want to attend. It was as though there was something that he harbored within him, a kind of guilt that washed over him. However, he knew that if he did not attend, Klaus would be highly suspicious because he had a fallout with Angelina. One more seat was empty when he got to the venue. It was Angelina's seat, and the table was quiet, as Siman and Rasheed were not so much of the talkers. As expected, Klaus was unhappy, but this time, he was not pacing about like one without a purpose. He was just sitting quietly, as though he was in deep thought. Jason took his seat and stayed silent as well. He did not intend to break the silence that had ensued, so he just kept his cool. “I have not seen or heard from Angelina in four days,” Klaus began. “I have sent her a ton of messages, and I cannot get to her assistant as well.” Gustavo had made sure that there was a heavy massacre in the warehouse that day. He made sure that none of A

    Jason woke up with a start and looked around him. A wave of relief overshadowed him as he discovered that he was in his bedroom. He looked to the side and saw that there was a drip bag attached to his hand. As he attempted to lift his hand, a sharp pain shot through his arm and his shoulder, forcing him to let out a loud groan and fall back on the bed. He soon began to recall what had happened the previous night, and all the events came rushing back at him. It made him panic as he did not see Daphne or the baby in the bedroom with him. He struggled to get up again and pulled away the drip on his hand. He stood up and attempted to walk out. He wobbled and landed on the floor, causing a loud noise. The door opened and Gustavo walked in to help him get back on the bed. Jason closed his eyes in exhaustion. “I decided to bring you home because I did not think that you would like the attention that staying in the hospital would cause you,” Gustavo began. “That's a very good decision,” Jaso

    “First of all, I want you to start with the way you took Maxwell down,” she began, and Jason glanced at Daphne, who seemed to be listening keenly as well. She would be so disappointed. “Oh! She does not know?” Angelina asked. “Can you just stop?” Jason asked her. “So, the woman that you claim to love is not aware that you are the one that put her father in jail, and soiled her family reputation, right?” She continued. “I'm not going to say anything about that,” Jason sounded firm. He did not intend to spill, and he was not just making up his mind at the moment. He had decided not to spill anything since he left his house. He saw how desperate she was for his confession, and he wanted to use that to his advantage. “Before I say anything, I would like you to tell me what manner of business you run here,” he said as he leaned in. “My merchandise is none of your business,” she said to him. “Well, if you need my confession, then you have to explain what this business is all about because

    Jason got into the car, took a deep breath, and took out his phone to place a call to Angelina. Even though she had sent someone to monitor him as he drove to the address, she still asked him to be on a video call the entire time, to ensure that no one was in the car with him. He was getting exhausted from her rules, but he had to comply because of his family. She had proof that she was with them, and he was the only one that could rescue them. Gustavo had thought up a brilliant plan, and things were already in place, giving Jason added confidence. He was not too sure that his plan would work out, but in the end, he blamed it on the nerves. He started the car and began to drive without taking one more look at the screen, where Angelina was watching him. “You are cute by the way,” she began when the tense silence had lasted for a while. “I have envisioned you in my bed a couple of times, not gonna lie,” she continued. Jason swallowed hard at this statement. He was already disgusted. A

    Jason clicked on the speaker button on the phone so that everyone could hear what the caller was going to say. The line was silent for a while, and Jason thought that it was just a prank call. “Hello Jason,” a familiar voice finally came on the line. It did not take him long to figure out who was on the line. He could detect Angelina's voice in a crowd. It was too deep for a female voice. “I am guessing that by now, you are shaken with fright at the disappearance of your wife and daughter,” she said with some kind of amusement in her voice. Her audacity annoyed him so much. “Angelina, I swear, if anything happens to them, you are going to regret it,” Jason fired at her. Ben immediately signaled him not to say anything again, so that they would not provoke her. Jason did not seem to care at all. He was just angry. “I would not be making threats if I were you,” she said. “You have no idea where I am or where your wife and child are, so I would be quiet and cooperate if I were you,” she

    Jason was confused about what to do next at the moment. He kept trying to call her as he dashed to the elevator that led to the penthouse they occupied in the mansion. He prayed that by some miracle, Daphne was upstairs and sleeping peacefully with their son. That would give him so much relief. But when he got there, the room was empty. He went ahead to look into the bathroom but there was no one there. His heart began to thump loudly as he rushed downstairs again. Gustavo was waiting for him when he came downstairs. “I can't find Daphne and the baby,” Jason blurted out in a worrisome voice before Gustavo could even ask him what was wrong. “I had two of my men follow her to the hospital. Let me try to call them,” Gustavo said as he took out his phone. He was so calm, as though he was very confident that there was nothing wrong with them. Gustavo called them over and over again but none of them answered. He began to get worried as well. “This is very unusual,” Gustavo muttered as he

    Jason stood up from bed very early, as he had a long day ahead of him. It had been three weeks since Jacob had been released from jail, and just like he had promised, he decided that he would give Jacob an orientation to the family business. Daphne was still very fast asleep when he was done dressing for work. He could not blame her at all. She had been awake for some time during the night to cater to a crying Benjamin. After the nurse left, it had been difficult for her to adjust to taking care of the baby alone. At some point, it was as though she was getting frustrated with the responsibility that she was saddled with and she would start crying. When he noticed that, he would usually offer her a helping hand so that she would not feel abandoned or frustrated. She appreciated his support. It showed in the way she embraced him or the way she kissed him. Jason walked up to the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead, causing her to stir in her sleep. “I'm off to work, baby. You know I
